[Bug 2071563] Re: [SRU - Noble] Backport crash fix
** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+ CHIRP contains a regression that causes it to crash on launch when no existing config file is found (e.g. clear installation).
+
+ The regression was an oversight in the refactoring of the recent file
+ handling. It results in the CHIRP application being completely unusable,
+ crashing every time immediately after startup and there is no easy
+ workaround available.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ This fix has already been tested and is implemented in newer stable CHIRP release that is already present in Ubuntu Oracular. However, it was not fixed before FeatureFreeze, and was not available in Debian until post-Noble release.
+
+ The fix has already been tested manually by others, but as soon as a
+ version with the patch present is available, a user should install the
+ updated chirp package and the program should launch without any crashes.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None. The fix simply adds one line of code with an if conditional to remove the "state" section only if it exists, thus fixing the "No section: 'state'" error.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ The only change is in the one line of code that handles "cleaning of higher-order entries if they exist" and was previously attempting to remove them even if they did not exist, resulting in a fatal error.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+ It has been fixed as a part of the new CHIRP version from the Debian package 20240413-1 which has been synced to Oracular.
+
+ Here is the upstream commit that needs to be added as a patch to the
+ Noble SRU:
